The interview before the interview

Surprise!

So tonight I had dinner with some folks from the place where I'm interviewing tomorrow.

It's sort of like having an extra three hours of interview, but with food and the option of liquor. As the company was picking up the tab, they all sucked down cocktails, but I stuck with ginger ale because this wasn't exactly a social occasion for me. Excuse offered: "I have to write my resume up in Japanese this evening." (I'm trying, as I write this, to work up some warm fuzzies for wire harnesses as requested by the staffing company.)

I did learn a lot about the plant where I'd be working (smells, noise, interesting work) and what the prospective job would involve. Also, I learned not to order the pasta, even if it's what I want.

Now. Wire harnesses.
